This news really ticks me off as I got a traffic ticket there around 3 or so years ago. China grove was known as a traffic trap city and many people changed how they traveled because of the fear of getting ticketed. This man was the one who ticketed me and I firmly believed I was NOT speeding as we were in a big convoy of traffic heading west through China Grove and we were ALL traveling at the same speed so how he only picked me out was questionable.
So to learn this man had an outstanding DWI while employed by China Grove , I believe all those tickets given by this man should be thrown out and expunged from our driving records.
This type of individual gives good cops a bad name and for the city of China Grove to hire him without thoroughly checking his background.
